Meals and Snacks

Regular intake of nutritious food helps ensure students are physically primed to learn. San Diego Unified School District serves a nutritious breakfast and lunch every school day. Please support your child's learning by making sure your child has access to these meals, along with adequate, healthy snacks.

If your child is bringing lunch from home, pack only nutritious foods for lunch and afternoon recess snack. Avoid highly sweetened or high sodium foods and drinks ("junk food"). These items (such as soda pops, sports drinks, large bags of chips or candy treats) may be confiscated by a school staff member if found to be causing an unreasonable distraction to others.

Sharing of food is not permitted due to the potential for allergic reactions. Our lunch arbor has a designated "peanut-free" table, but if there are any known allergies, the school nurse and principal must be informed. We ask families to avoid including foods with peanuts in them for the safety of our students.

For safety reasons, glass containers are not permitted on school property. Please make sure your child’s food items are tightly wrapped and enclosed.
